LabVIEW 8.5 FPGA Module
The LabVIEW 8.5 FPGA Module helps users define custom FPGA-based I/O without knowledge of hardware design or VHDL. Using the module, LabVIEW diagrams can be run directly on FPGAs. New features include automatic generation of logic and code, such as analog and digital measurements with direct memory access using a configuration-based FPGA project wizard; high-level design using a statechart approach based on the Unified Modeling Language specification with the Statechart Module; new intellectual property for multichannel operations including PID control for more efficient FPGA gate usage; and simulation of FPGA functions on windows before compiling for FPGA targets to speed design.
